Cafe Brasil Bakery in Allston is a delightful discovery for cheese bread enthusiasts. Their cheese bread is simply fantastic—warm, flavorful, and truly satisfying. The bakery offers a cozy atmosphere, and the focus on delivering great-tasting cheese bread makes it a must-visit for those craving a delicious and authentic experience.
I was intrigued to see a Brazilian bakery when looking for a place for dessert after lunch in Allston. I love a good pao de queijo so I decided to give it a try.
They have a pretty wide selection of pastries and breads, though there were no prices listed so I had to ask for the prices. The pao de queijo were 50 cents each, so I got 6. I also got a chicken sfiha and a guava turnover.
The pao de queijo (50c/ea) were pretty good, and definitely a reasonable price. They are pretty small and irregular in size/shape. They were a bit stale and hard/dry, but were revived pretty well in an air fryer at home. They had a good subtle cheese flavor and had a lot of holes inside. Assuming they do make them daily, I think they probably taste great if you go early in the morning. Overall I would probably consider getting them again when I'm in the area. Not the best I've had, but it's hard to beat 50 cents.
The chicken sfiha ($5.65) was quite substantial with a thick bread layer and a dense chicken filling. I liked the flavor of the chicken -- there was a strong garlic flavor and it was nicely savory. It was all a bit dry and dense but filling and well-flavored.
The guava turnover ($3.90) was basically a strip of guava jam inside of puff pastry with some sweet crackly stuff on top. This was also pretty good reheated in the air fryer. My friend also got a guava turnover that had very little jam, so it may be inconsistent.
Overall I enjoyed trying a variety of their pastries. Nothing was amazing but everything was solid and the pao de queijo were especially good value. I'm glad I tried this place and will certainly keep it in mind for future Allston visits!
The service and quality of the products are very good. The service is perfect.
Authentic Brazilian baked goods at an affordable price. Absolutely delicious and open early so I can grab it for breakfast on my way to work.
Hour to close, probably their last batch of the day
I bought two coxinhas and they were absolutely delicious and smooth textures, not too oily
I wish I came early enough to get some catupiry ones, I bet those would have been even better
In LOVE with the place. Ladies are lovely with great customer service I tried more than one cake and custom ordered one of their cakes for a birthday and it was HEAVENLY ! A must try Brazilian spot for dessert and in general for any Desserts lovers out there !
Nice americano and Brazilian pastries. Recommended.
I'd only every ordered delivery from here on Doordash, but I finally went there in person and I'm so glad I did!
The cake bowls are a must-try. They are delicious, moist and best of all, not too sugary. The baked goods are fresh, made daily, and the cheese bread is light and airy.
The staff are extremely nice, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting more often.
Amazing little hole-in-the-wall bakery that smells great and has really fresh food. I can't really eat anything there because I'm vegan, and they also probably aren't great with food allergies. It is always hopping in the mornings with people sitting down to get a pastry though and it all looks great!
Stumbled upon this cute and friendly cafe randomly this morning and it was the best start to my day! Coffee and Brazilian finger food snack made for such a lovely morning <3
so the day after my 28th birthday I was so hungover I felt like my soul was going to leave my body. I owe my continued existence to you, Cafe Brazil. Thanks to your delicious, savory hamburger on a generous loaf of sweet bread, I was revitalized. Your food sopped up the alcohol and allowed me to live again.
You're my best friend, Cafe Brazil and dang it, I love you.
We salute you.
Great brazilian bakery with fair prices, good bakes and nice overall friendly vibe. They have coxinha, bolinho de aipim, brevidade, pão doce, pão de queijo, all brazilian most beloved pastries <3 I will definitely be back to try all the different options.
